My name is Aleisha, and I was proud to be Sam’s granddaughter. If you knew my grandpa, you knew he was a chef who was always cooking for those he loved, and every time we have spaghetti or one-eyed-jacks, we’ll think of him. He would help anyone and everyone—he was so kind, always had the best jokes, and had a story for every situation. He truly lived his life to the fullest.

My grandpa, Sam, was recently laid to rest after a long battle, and our family is now facing unexpected financial burdens. My mom is doing everything she can to cover the costs of his celebration of life, and a spot in the cemetery where we can honor him forever. We are reaching out with heavy hearts and humbly asking for any support you can give to help us give him the farewell he so deeply deserves. Every donation means the world to our family during this difficult time. Thank you.
